... perhaps as it states 5am as the time)!! There is a lot of commotion and then the door of the mini bus opens and a bona fide travelling dude pops his head and asks 'are we going I have a flight to catch'!! There's me like 'Get me to Pete now' and all these people have flights to get...!! A Thai woman comes over, attempts to tell me that my ticket was only valid at 5am and I tell her the guy must have made a mistake!! Next thing she is ushering me back onto Khao ...

... driver took us to a useless TAT office, but we were luckily beside the train station. we headed into the TAT office in there, where we met our guardian angel! the lady was so helpful and booked several parts of our transport for us. all in all it costs 69 quid, but considering we are travelling the equivelant of london to glasgow 3 times its really not that bad! we officially love that lady!

After that ...

... myself for example with the help of Guy Delisle’s excellent graphic novel Burma Chronicles; another historical novel by Daniel Mason called Piano Tuner; as well as with the Sylvester Stallone document Rambo IV. Not forgetting the obvious Lonely Planet of course. Oh, and currently I’m reading George Orwell’s Burmese Days (already read 1984, which, according to some people, is also pretty close to the contemporary Burma).

Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk? Tuk-tuk.....? Where you go? Where you go? Allir tuk-tuk bílstjórar vona svo mikiđ ađ mađur sé á leiđinni eitthvert langt. Mađur má aldrei bara rölta um og skođa. Einn elti okkur.. where you go, where you go? Allt í einu sneri ég mér snöggt viđ, bennti framan ...

... club, opening coconuts, swimming, Lou & Baz getting what looked like a flesh eating disease - medical drama's in general (a sprain, stitches in foot, Baz getting something out of the sole of his foot with the corkscrew bit on my penknife, Aaron in general). Beach dog Lily pacing up and down for hours searching the sea. Going for a long walk by myself down a straight road & getting completely lost, buying a prickled Mango & almost puking, showing ...

Yesterday I went to my first Thai Seventh-day Adventist church. I must say that I was treated so well that I want to go back every Sabbath that I have here in Thailand. When one walks up the steps of the Mission Adventist church there are more than flowers that line the sides, but all different pairs of colorful shoes as well. Very often I am reminded of a relative or friend. I will taste, see, or experience something that I just know that person would love to do as well. When ...

... the border is hectic on the weekend with local Asians renewing their work visa's. Bit worried as I have heard horrible tales about this border crossing route into Cambodia. All ready and packed to wake up at 4.15 am!!!! to catch an extremely early bus. wish me luck...

... up of us and decided the journey had ended! He told us we were in the right place, took the money and drove off. We were in front of a busy shopping centre, which didnt feature on any of the maps we had! So we thought we would just walk and see where we eneded up!

... go with the oar. Ok it's not as easy as it looks. Crashed the boat and he demanded a tip. When we got off, the wierd pervert had plastered the photo he took on my very own personalised Floating Market Plate. Remarkable, haggled him down to 100Bart. We took a motor boat ride to lunch down a beaut river throught the rainforest. The locals live in little wooden huts on stilts by the water, and all have elaborate shrines outside ...

... Bob did his best to cheers me up and see that I was alright,
And I know the cause of my sickness and it's down to the amount of bloody oil these people put in there food,
